In some of my previous letters, I passed
some pretty severe strictures on our officers,
which I thought then, and still think, they mer
ited ; but inasmuch as they have. for the last
two weeks, and seem still disposed to do their
ditty as becomes South Carolinians, I am de
sirous of giving them full credit for it. Fot the
la-st two weeks, and particularly on the march
from Vera*Cruz to this place,. (Jalapa,) they
paid every possible attention to the men. both
Field and Company Officers. Lient. Stanley,
our present Quarter .M aster, should ever be
kindly remembered by the sick, for his indefa

Reception of Ar. Webster in Columbia.-The
South Carolinan of the 18th inst., gives an in
teresting account of the reception of the Hon.
Daniel Webster, in Columbia. He remained
in that place, from the 12th to the 17th of May.
He was the special guest of the Hon. Wim. C.
Prestun; at whose hospitable mansion the citi
izens; generally, paid their respects to him, in
the course of the eveniiing.' Iwas feasted and
entertained by several gentlemen in Columbia,
and the vicinity, and was also received with

The fish clan in our State, it is said, have not
been hospitable to tihe great Daniel. Upom, the

been magnificent.
Mr. Wdstr.-The Charleston Evening N"ewos

Fall in thme valise of Slaoe property in Kentua
I.y.-According to the Frankfort, (Ky.) Com
monwealth, it appears that during 'the last seven
years. while the slave population has increased
sixteen thousand in that State, the valn of the
sane have decreased to $17,305,84I, This we
think can all be attributed to the agita'on of
~aboliion in Kentucky. Our reasders may re
membher, that not long since, the city ol Lex
ingon, particularly, was greatly exciied by an
abolition print, which was circul-ated in that
community, and that the celebrated Cassius M.
Clay. who has since become a volunteer in the
Mexican wvar, figured at that time. Such pjer
sons as himself, itnd others, though not pro
essed abolitionists, have, by the course which
they have thought prouper to pursue, greatly
aided those Ufanatics in this work. We do not
think it at all strange, that slave property in
Kentucky should therefore be lessenedin-v.a

enders t bis species of property precarious and

Corresponence of the Daily Delta,
JALAPA, Mexico, May 3,
Eds. Delta.-This morning a train left
sere for Vera Cruz, and it will doubtless
te the last one that will go down for some
ime. The recent attack on Bell'a train
)f wagons, will show that the guerrilla
;ystetn has been commenced by the enemy
mtid the heavy force of four or five hun
fred men, who are ordered to escort the
.rain (own, argues pretty conclusively that
cur folks fear to trust them now with the
asual escort. It may not be so much this
is the fact on the return of the train tiore
han half a million of specie will be sent i
ap. t
Jn Gen. Scott's orders of advance, (a
:opy of which I send you.) you will find
that the long cherished principle of mine
-to live off the enemy-is about to be
realized.
On Tuesday, Gern. Quitman's brigade
will leave here ; on Vednesday. Colonel
Carnpbell's, (late Pillows's) ; on Thursday
Col. Riley's; and on Friday, Gen. Smith's
and the last. These comnands, moving
within 24 hours of each other, will so
soutinn'e until they reach Puebla, at which
place they will doubtless rest a day or two
before enteriu the city of Mexico.
The enemy have evacuated Puebla.
Not a soldier is to be found of this side of
that place, and very few between there
and Mexico. Bravo left Puebla and
marched to the city with its garrison; and
Canalize was also moving in with-a few
disalfected troops.
If the clergy and wealthy metn of Mexi
to have any thing to say.they will not
tuffer the city to be attacked.
Santa- Anna is still in the mountains,
Aud afraid to go home. Ho. has about
3000 men with hi-n, and will either go to
work upon the trains, or else try and make
his way to the capital-iji this latter he
will probably be opposed -by several most
prominent men, and one man here argues
hat the first fight "to come off" will be
)etween Santa Anna and his own people.
In- advancing into, the interior,; Gen. '
cott.belicves that- he can sn'bsist his:armji
mstly from the enemy. He isiled to this
ipinion by men of intelligence, whoin he
.as employed to travel over the country.
ln six weeks or two tmouths the new crop
Mill be in. and there will be no scarcity, if
rconomuy is used,.of either 'forage,' bread-.
stuff's, or moat.' He has prudently with- I
eld all intimation of this to the natives,
'earing they would hide or destroy their I
,roductiotns ; but in informing yuut of this,
it the distance you are from the seat of
war, it is of no consequence, as we will
ikely be in Mexico ere your paper coo
:aitnitng it will reach ihe country. -
The Mexicans are becotning quite tron
>lesome about Jalapa, as well as on the
-ad. A patty of them showed themselves
mo the mountain a few days ago, trear to
>ur volunteer camp, made a charge down
hue montaitn side, killed one mnan and
ounded several others.
Dr. Kingsbury st arted for Vera Cruz on
I'hursdasy..- with four p'ack-mules andi
everal Mexicans, and when he ieached
Eucerro he was bound by his men, robbed,
tnd cut severely in twenty places. The
wretches were more udisposed to torture
han to kill him. One of his feet was cut
under mh-e hottom to the bone, and when
be was found -yesterday-the worms
were at wnork.
Cul. Haskoll (2d Tennessee,) as you
will also see by the orders, is left to garri- I
ton the town, to connection with other

They are so well known that it need scarcely
be mentioned that they are a " Purgative Me
dicine,"~ so "justly balanced'! that the "experi.
ence of a e-entury'' hits proved that they may
be taken in ary dose, according to Nature's re
guiremets-and this rule refers to both sexes
and all ages. They have been used in~every
variety of derangements of the human body,
and yet, wvhen properly used, never failed tor
restore to health, except in those cases where
nature has exhausted before 'the pIll, were
commenced with.
Experience haw aughrt that Brandreth's Vs.
getable Universal Pills remove all corrupt hit
more from the body, in an easy,safe and effec
tnal manner y prosilcing no effect bitt what will
finally conduce to the perrect purification of the
Blood, and thereby cure the disease. (whatever
name it may be called,) and give perfect health
to the whole system.
